Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 166
Davos counted the knights at the funeral, Karen of Nightsong, House Morrigan of Crow's Nest, House Fell of Fallenwood, House Errol of Hay Hall, House Selmy of Harvest Hall
None of the knights from Cape Wrath showed up here.

He went to the frontier and also to the rainforest, received courtesy, and was rejected.

They only brought back Stannis's crown from Dragonstone.

Outside the gatehouse of Storm's End, a long line of plastic guards lined up, with spear guards lined up in two lines. The Prince Regent rode his horse in front, escorted by a team of fully armed cavalry. A crowned stag covered with a heart of fire.

They came to the coast, where a raft had long been placed. Cole put the box in the center of the raft, and the soldiers on both sides put the firewood on it.

As the raft rose to the surface, he drew a longbow and shot a flaming arrow.

The flames ignited thick smoke, and Davos saw Cole's eyes condensed, and he stared at the sea for a long time.

At the funeral supper, Selwyn Tarth, Lord of Evenfall Hall, was so drunk that he berated House Ismond for their treachery.

The Esmond family gained a lot of supporters in the rainforest. They assembled an army in the rainforest and declared that Sir Aemon Esmond was the orthodox heir of Storm's End.

The anger of the good old evening star was echoed by the knights.

"Just because the fellow who knelt to Lannister wants to take Storm's End?" Ser Richard Morrigan asked aloud. "We only surrender to the stag and the giant dragon in the storm, how can we let the bastard climb on our own head?"

The sigil of House Esmond is a dark green turtle on a pale green background.

"That's right, sea turtles are not worthy to lead us." Lord Heywood Fell of Fallen Wood City shouted.

"My lords, may I say a word." Sir Oakley Cullen stood up. He was a branch of the Cullen family in Nightsong City. In Nightsong City, Earl Bryce Cullen died in battle beside the Blackwater River. After the war, he was elected as the patriarch of the Karen family.

However, Joffrey Baratheon has issued an edict to deprive the Cullen family of their ownership of Nightsong City.

"Those whores of the rainforest are a group of despicable rebels. They have bowed their knees to their enemies and have forgotten their own glory and shame." Sir Cullen said loudly, and he turned to Cole and knelt on one knee, "His Royal Highness, please Order, the Karen family is willing to be the vanguard to cast their wrath on those traitors."

Cole sat on the main seat with a normal expression, his fingers constantly tapping on the table.

"His Majesty Stannis made me Prince Regent before he died, and let me rule over all affairs." He began. "I know this is a big responsibility."

Cole sighed, "We have lost our king and Dragonstone, and the enemy is always watching in the dark. If the Stormlands cannot unite, it will only make us swallowed by the waves in this chaotic storm.

I thought that everyone would understand what we were facing next, but unfortunately I overestimated the wisdom of some ignorant people and the desire of some greedy people.

That being the case, in the name of the Lord Regent, the Guardian of the Stormlands and the Governor of the Storm, I will punish the rebels as they deserve. "

He drew out the long sword around his waist and pointed at the crowd, "Would you like to go out with me?"

In an instant, the whole room was filled with the sound of swords being unsheathed.

The Onion Knight also drew his long sword.

After dinner, Davos came into the study.

Pushing open the door, I saw Cole sitting alone under the candlelight, looking at a roll of parchment.

"I wanted to go to bed earlier, but I thought I'd ask your advice." He put down the parchment.

"Suggestion?" Davos sat down in front of the chair and shook his head. "I have no suggestion, Your Highness. Your decision is correct."

Cole showed a helpless smile, "Don't be like this, Davos, just wear a mask in the hall."

Davos understood his metaphor quickly.

He took out a roll of maps from the table and unfolded them, "Look, this is my plan."

Onion Knight looked at those words and arrows, only feeling dazzled.

Cole pointed to one place, "This is Ismond Island. If we want to board it, we can only take a boat, but you know, we don't have many boats at all. Apparently the Ismond family also thinks so, so he A small fleet of about twenty large ships was assembled in the fjord.

And as far as I know, they have gathered an army of at least 3000 people around Wulin City. It seems that they plan to advance by sea. "

Davos listened quietly.

He continued, "There is an army of 2000 people that we have stationed here in advance. Our enemies must not know that Dorne has now become an ally of Storm's End, so I plan to let this army withdraw from the Bone Road. Cape Wrath set off, and I personally led the two thousand soldiers of Storm's End from the coast of the Crimson Mountains to the rainforest, forming a two-horse battle."

Davos stared at the map. He became a knight only because he was sent a boatload of onions. For tournaments and wars, any knight in the Seven Kingdoms is better than him.

"What can I do for you?" asked the Onion Knight.

Cole hesitated for a moment, and said with a bitter face, "Davos, we are out of money. In order to arm knights and build weapons, collect war supplies, and build ships, the inventory of Storm's End is almost exhausted. do."

In fact, this war must be fought, otherwise the soldiers outside the castle will wear them down, and they will have nothing to lose.

The battlefield has always been a project that burns money, and sometimes it takes logistics to fight a protracted war, but now Storm's End can't afford it at all.

Davos froze.

Cole continued, "I should have let you take a good rest, but there are really no good candidates in Storm's End, so I hope you can go to Braavos to raise a debt from the Iron Bank. "

Onion Knight took this task without hesitation. He has been used to running on the sea all his life. Sometimes he feels that ships are his women. He likes to let the salty sea breeze blow over his face, which is like wife's hand.

In fact, they can borrow money from Dawn, but there may be a bigger war waiting for them, so it will be useful to win one more golden dragon.

And dismissing Davos is also convenient for his subsequent plans.

Before the expedition, Cole held a military parade outside Storm's End.

He pronounces the crimes of the enemy, and reads the rewards and punishments and laws of war.

The army passed by the castle in a mighty way, and set out for the distant battlefield.

Cole led the army at the forefront of the team and sent out scouts to explore the way ahead.

They crossed the Crimson Mountains and entered the land of Cape Wrath.

The enemy apparently also received the sound, and the two armies were slowly approaching.
